EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Caucasian mountaineers dancing the "Lesghinska"; The Caucasus,' dates back to the 1870s and is an intriguing glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Caucasus region. The image, which is believed to have been published in Henry Walter Bates' 'Illustrated Travels' around 1880, captures a group of Caucasian mountaineers in traditional attire, engaged in the lively dance known as the 'Lesghinska.' The men, dressed in colorful garments, wear wide-brimmed papakha hats and intricately patterned vests. Some don traditional trousers, while others wear shorter kilts. The boys in the image are dressed in simpler versions of the men's clothing. The dancers appear to be in high spirits, with their arms raised and their feet moving nimbly in unison. The Caucasus region, located at the intersection of Europe and Asia, has long been known for its diverse ethnic groups, each with its unique customs and traditions. The Lesghinska dance is just one of many such traditions that have survived to this day, despite the region's complex history and the many external influences it has faced. The photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of these indigenous people and their vibrant culture. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving traditional customs and the rich cultural heritage that they represent.
